Adam Mahama was gruesomely lynched and partly burnt by some youth of Denkyria-Obuasi in the Central Region, who claimed they thought he was an armed robber. He had gone to that part of the country on an anti-galamsey mission with other soldiers.

About 40 persons have so far been arrested in connection with the murder to face trial.
